Dec 26, 2019 at 22:56 comment added Nosjack @JumpMan The "itemizing list" I referenced was simply the list given in Pub 505. They are given on page 7 (the pub is linked in my answer). The deductions that are included on line 4 are given just below that on the same page.

Dec 26, 2019 at 22:50 comment added Vladimir Marin Sure, thanks again, yeah I understand it in terms of only deductions, this line is confusing to me: Line 4 includes deductions that are not part of the itemizing list. Not part of itemizing list means?
Dec 26, 2019 at 22:43 comment added Nosjack @JumpMan But you are correct though, line 4 only includes deductions (not a total AGI number).

cleared up that line 1 does not include income and added disclaimer at the end of the answer
Dec 26, 2019 at 22:32 comment added Nosjack @JumpMan Salary does not go on line 1, only your itemized deductions (reference Pub 505). If your contributions are charitable contributions of $5,000 then line 1 would only be $5,000. If line 2 was $12,200 then line 3 would be 0. Line 4 includes deductions that are not part of the itemizing list. AGI is not referenced anywhere in the W-4, that only comes in to play when you file your return after the end of the year.
Dec 26, 2019 at 22:25 comment added Vladimir Marin Thanks for the answer @Nosjack however, I need some more help if you don't mind. For instance, If my income (salary) is 60000$, plus I have some other contributions of 5000$. Line 1 should fill up with 65000$ in the referenced worksheet (adjustments and deductions worksheets), for line 2, assume it's 12,200, line 3 is 52,800$? and line 4 should be filled up with any other deductions like disability etc. So, basically line 4 only covers deductions not AGI.
